2. SmartPlate

With health goals on everyone’s mind, the SmartPlate is a smart buying choice. Use it with its application and get information immediately. The plate uses artificial intelligence and high-tech photo recognition to take a close look at what’s on your plate, analyzes it and sends the information to the TopView app to monitor. It works for up to three varied food types on the plate. Not just health, the plate works to control carbs intake, better strength and energy and address hydration issues. A must-have kitchen gadget.

3. Rachio Smart Sprinkler Controller

Our garden is as important as our home and we take pride in a well-manicured lawn and healthy plants. With Rachio, the good old sprinkler gets a makeover. Control the amount of water your grass needs through Alexa or the phone. But if you think all Rachio does is switch onto a preset schedule, you’re wrong. It takes a look at the prevailing weather, bypasses the preset sprinkler schedule for the rain forecast and changes the schedule to fit in with what’s predicted. With this fabulous piece of technology, you can save water and keep a great looking lawn all year round.

4. Wemo Light Switch
